Payment is always due on the 1st, and is crucial to the success of the program. To make a payment, please visit berkeleylearns.asapconnected.com . If you believe you qualify for a fee reduction, you will have to set up an appointment with the Program Coordinator and bring in proof of income.
Below is a general guideline for our teams. Finding solid coaches has historically been the biggest challenge to running teams, so all info below relies on our ability to get good help.
Cross Country: 2nd week of school year until 2nd week of Nov.
Girls Volleyball, 7th & 8th grade: 2nd week of school year until end of Oct.
Tryouts: We run "tryouts" (i.e. auditions) for our after school sports teams, for many reasons. In some cases all comers are taken, in others some are not, and this has mostly to do with the limited numbers we can fit into a space, or with our limited personnel on hand. With Track & Field, and with Cross Country, we run a lot, so we strongly emphasize the retention of students that want to work hard and get faster. I mention this because both sports see kids at tryouts who are clearly there against their own interest (i.e. parents lean on them too hard to try out), and trying to keep unwilling participants on a running team means severely diminished results and headaches for our coaches. Both teams run on average 3-5 miles of running per practice off campus, and keeping the team from getting separated is a matter of safety. For this reason, it's paramount that we only bring kids on that have the desire to improve.
Practices: Our teams generally practice 3x per week during ASP hours, and we expect our student athletes to be present for all practices. We at times make exceptions for Cross Country and Track & Field, if students are missing practice to run elsewhere (i.e. club soccer practices, AAU basketball, etc).
PTA E-tree: The first place to get information about our sports offerings, tryouts dates, etc, is via the PTA E-tree, and I recommend all parents join the list.
Enrichment classes take place during the first hour (1st block) of the program. Classes are taught by staff members, UC Berkeley students, and vendors. We will announce the class schedules and class descriptions in mid September. In the meantime, students will participate in other activities during the first hour, such as foosball, board games, art, field games, and more. By the first week of October all students will be assigned to an enrichment class.
1 to 2 staff members along with UC Berkeley Volunteers offer homework assistance and other academic activities for an hour to Willard LEARNS students everyday except for Friday's. During this time, 6th Graders are located in the Library, while 7th & 8th graders are located in the Student Center.
Once students are released from Academic Support Hour, they will have to option of participating in indoor activities in the Student Center or outdoor field games and social time. After the Options Hour, students will need to be signed out of the program no later than 6:00pm.
Dates and start dates will be posted in Mid-September. Classes may change between now and September.
Sports Day - Students that want to play sports and outdoor games for fun can participate in different physical activities ranging from soccer and volleyball, to basketball, kickball, dodge ball and more!
Community Builders - Students will get a sense of what it is like to be a community organizer! Students will participate in community outreach, group discussions, fundraisers, beautification projects, helping those in need, and other community building practices!
BEAM Science - Berkeley Engineers and Mentors (BEAM) is an after-school science program run by UC Berkeley undergraduates for local K-12 students. BEAM is reinventing Science! Hands on, Exciting, and FUN! BEAM instructors design their own lessons to be visually and kinesthetically engaging to stimulate their students' creativity, critical thinking, and curiosity. Cool Experiments and healthy tasty snacks provided!
Code Club - Students in Code Club will learn the basics of computer programming through games as well as drag and drop programming! This is a fun and interactive enrichment class that will introduce kids to various forms of coding, whether it be games or web page design!
Magic: The Gathering: Each game represents a battle between wizards known as "planeswalkers", who employ spells, artifacts, and creatures depicted on individual Magic cards to defeat their opponents. Although the original concept of the game drew heavily from the motifs of traditional fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, the gameplay of Magic bears little similarity to pencil-and-paper adventure games, while having substantially more cards and more complex rules than many other card games.
Card Games: Disconnect from the computer games and try some Willard Card game favorites like Spoons, Crazy Eights, Go Fish, Snip Snap Snorem, Rummy, Speed, War, Old Maid, and More!
Digital Photography/Multimedia: Each week, students will work on different photo projects and explore the world of digital media. *Limited digital cameras are provided, therefore students are welcome to bring their own. Students will also work on other digital media related assignments as well!
Chess: Come work on your game, sharpen your strategy, or challenge a friend! We welcome veterans as well as new comers! This is one of our most popular classes and is lead by longtime Willard Chess teacher Mr. Larry Snyder.
Gardening: Experience the Willard garden every Wednesday! Get hands-on experience by helping out and learning from the Willard Garden Crew. Students will gain hands on gardening experience, understand the importance of a community garden, and will periodically partake in cooking as well!
Skateboarding: Learn parts of a skateboard, how to put together a skateboard, learn how to properly put on and secure your safety gear. How to properly push, roll, find balance and more! FME will supply helmets and skateboards. Parents must sign sports waiver for this class.
Art & Design: The class will include a basic foundation education of visual art: color, design, composition, history, incorporated with graffiti art techniques and fun new mediums. This is a basic art class super-charged with fun new techniques and styles.
Basketball 5 on 5: Teams of 5 on 5, 3 on 3, or 2 on 2 and shoot around. This is a basketball class for students that enjoy playing the sport both for fun and competitively.
Web Development (Formerly Google CS) Students on all levels will get a chance to work on designing and updating their own websites.
Mural Arts/ Graffiti: Through demonstration and first hand examples of current "hip" styles, we aim to make art look cool and attractive to students. The class will include a basic foundation education of visual art: color, design, composition, history, incorporated with graffiti art techniques and fun new mediums.
Concepts taught will include: letterform, block letters, bubble letters, dimensions (3D), drop shadows, highlights, fill design, outline, force field, plus other basic art theory: shape, form, rendering, planes, drips, splatters, and many other elements. This is a basic art class super-charged with fun new techniques and styles.
We expect to add more classes. Some of the classes listed here may or may not be returning for the 2018-2019 school year. Please be sure to stay posted!
We plan on adding a new Business class and more creative arts as well. Stay tuned!


This is the style of Tai Chi Chuan practiced by more people than any other.
This is the style of Tai Chi Chuan practiced by more people than any other. Most of the popular forms today evolved from the Yang. Tai Chi started out with 13 basic movements and kept expanding until it reached 108 movements. All these movements are actually only variations on the basic 13. There are now many shortened versions of thislong form. In fact, not that many people teach and practice this long form, sowhy do I?
The main reason is the length of time for practice. The long form takes 20 minutes to go through, so when you start, you are committed to 20 minutes of concentrative exercise. If you don't have that much time for some reason, the form is divided into three sections that can be practiced in 5 or 10 minutes each.
I also like the fact that with all this variety, you exercise more muscles and joints and are called on to make more connections between various parts of the body. That means there is more practice of mind/body coordination, which helps in all aspects of daily life. This is the style of Tai Chi Chuan practiced by more people than any other.

We recommend that you print out each lesson and save it for reference.
This index is divided into three sections: 1, 2, and 3. Hopefully, this will save some time for students as they work their way through all the lessons. Besides the movements in each section, there are also some other lessons on Chi Gong and related subjects. I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoy sharing my life's work with you.
Please use our Contact Us page if you have any questions. This will be a learning adventure for all of us. I wish you the very best in your studies.

Guyana Goldstrike to Raise up to $2 Million in Private Placement
Tickers: XTSX:GYA, PINX:GYNAF, FRAA:1ZT
Tags: #Mining
March 21, 2019 / TheNewswire / Vancouver, Canada - Guyana Goldstrike Inc. (the "Company" or "Guyana Goldstrike") (TSXV: GYA, OTC: GYNAF, FSE:1ZT) is pleased to announce that it will conduct a non-brokered private placement to raise up to $2,000,000 through the issuance of up to 10,000,000 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.20 per Unit. Each "Unit" will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire a further common share at a price of $0.30 for a period of thirty-six months.
Gold Mountains Asset Management Ltd. (a subsidiary of Zijin Mining Group Ltd.), through its Zijin funds, has elected to participate in the placement on a pro-rata basis in order to maintain its 24.4% ownership interest in the Company as a strategic partner.
The proceeds from the placement will be used towards ongoing exploration work at the Company's Marudi Gold Project, as well as for general working capital purposes.
The Company may pay finders' fees to eligible parties who have assisted by introducing subscribers to the placement. All securities to be issued in connection with the placement will be subject to a four-month-and-day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. Completion of the placement remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
About the Marudi Gold Project
The Company is developing the Marudi Gold Project located in Guyana, South America. The project has 18-year mining license in good standing, all-season road access, infrastructure in place, with an established camp serviced by employees, service buildings, and a full-time camp manager. The Property has three known gold bearing areas: the alluvial areas, the saprolite, and the underlying hard-rock.
There has been 42,000 metres of historic diamond drilling (141 holes) completed on the project by prior operators that have delineated two zones of mineralization: Mazoa Hill and Marudi North zones. The Company has recently completed a mineral resource estimate on the Mazoa Hill zone containing 259,100 indicated gold ounces within 4,428,000 tonnes grading 1.80 g/t and 86,200 inferred gold ounces within 1,653,000 tonnes grading 1.60 g/t. The Company has recently discovered a third mineralized zone: Toucan Ridge. This zone is the current focus of the Company's 2018 trenching program. There exists excellent exploration upside for the further discovery of mineralized zones through the development of previously and newly identified mineralized bedrock targets on the project.
For information concerning the mineral resource estimate and the project, readers are encouraged to review "Technical Report: Marudi Property Mazoa Hill Mineral Resource Estimate", a technical report prepared for the Company by Global Mineral Resource Services and is available at http://www.guyanagoldstrike.com/images/pdf/43101_Report_Guyana_Goldstrike_Mazoa_Hill_Zone_Jan_2018.pdf and under the Company's profile on SEDAR www.sedar.com.
About Guyana
The Republic of Guyana is located in South America adjacent to Suriname. The country is English speaking and under British Common Law with a democratically-elected government. It has an established mining act and a rich history of gold production. In 2016, 690,000 ounces of gold was produced by operators mining in the country. The Fraser Institute's 2016 Annual Survey of Mining listed Guyana as the third best mining jurisdiction with regards to investment attractiveness in the Latin America and Caribbean Basin sub-group. The Guiana Shield is the geographic gold-hosting region, and is world-recognized as a premier gold region that is highly prospective, under-explored and has geological continuity with West Africa.* In 2016, two mines in Guyana declared the commencement of commercial production: the Aurora deposit (Guyana Goldfields) and the Karouni deposit (Troy Resources).

Q: Show that $\alpha^3 = 10\alpha - 24$ given that $\alpha + \beta = 4$ and $\alpha \beta = 6$ How to show that $\alpha^3 = 10\alpha - 24$ given that $\alpha + \beta = 4$ and $\alpha \beta = 6$
As given in the title. I tried shifting the RHS to the left but I'm not sure if factorization is the way to go. There are earlier parts to this question but I'm not sure if they will be helpful so I'm excluding them.
Thank you.
(Question is under sum and product of roots for a quadratic equation.)

A: Note that $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are roots of the quadratic equation: $z^2-(\text{ Sum of Roots }) + \text{ Product of Roots } = 0 \implies z^2-4z +6 =0$.
Note as, $\alpha^2-4\alpha + 6=0$ (because $\alpha$ satisfies the quadratic), we can easily see that : $$\alpha^3 = 4\alpha^2 - 6\alpha = 4(4\alpha -6)-6\alpha = 10\alpha -24$$

A: Because $$\alpha+\frac{6}{\alpha}=4$$ or
$$\alpha^2=4\alpha-6,$$
which gives $$\alpha^3=4\alpha^2-6\alpha=4(4\alpha-6)-6\alpha=10\alpha-24.$$

A: Hint:
So, $\alpha$ is a root of $$t^2-4t+6=0$$
Now $$t^3-10t+24=(t^2-4t+6)(t-?)=0$$

A: Hint:  given their sum and product, $\;\alpha,\beta$ are the roots of $z^2 - 4z + 6 = 0\,$.
It follows that $\alpha^2=4 \alpha-6\,$, then $\alpha^3 = 4 \alpha^2 - 6 \alpha = 4(4\alpha-6) - 6 \alpha= \cdots$

A: Sum of roots = $ \alpha + \beta + \gamma =$
$ \frac{-b}{a} = \frac{-0}{1} = 0  $
But, $ \alpha + \beta = 4 $ $\implies \gamma = -4 $
Product of roots $\alpha * \beta * \gamma = $
$ \frac{-d}{a} = -24 $
Sum of roots taken two at a time = $ \alpha\beta + \beta\alpha + \gamma\alpha =$
$ \frac{c}{a} = \frac{10}{1} = 10 $
Now, for a cubic equation:
$$ x^3 - (\alpha+\beta+\gamma)x^2+(\alpha\beta + \beta\alpha + \gamma\alpha )x - (\alpha\beta\gamma)=0 $$
Or
$$ \alpha^3-10\alpha+24=0 $$

A really nice outdoor table! Like it a lot. Just had to put lifts on the legs.... it is a little to low for my patio furniture!
Enjoy poolside refreshments or snacks in the garden on this square coffee table from Panama Jack. Handcrafted from synthetic wicker made from resin and boasting a sturdy aluminum frame, this weather-resistant coffee table stands up to Mother Nature's whims with ease.
We live at the beach and this has withstood the elements. Its sturdy and modern looking.
Nice table, alittle lighter weight than expected, but great quality! We have had the table outside for over a year and it has held up well!
I love this table, my only issue is that its not as big as i thought it would be and I really need more width when paired with a sofa and two chair combo so my solution is to order one more and have two side by side!
This table arrived with the glass top shattered. In the process of trying to get a replacement.
Great patio table. Looks just as pictured, very happy with my purchase.
Fits perfectly on my deck. Love the style.

THE NEW FIGURATION. CURATED BY GLENN ADAMSON
March 28, 2022 - April 19, 2022
"Design is inherently figurative. After all, chairs have arms, legs, a back and seat. Yet this potential has remained largely implicit in modern or contemporary design." — Glenn Adamson
Friedman Benda is pleased to present The New Figuration, curated by Glenn Adamson. Including works by seven contemporary practitioners, the exhibition considers the current propulsion towards figurative representation in design, and more broadly, probes the mode's sudden pressing relevance – a phenomenon paralleled in contemporaneous painting and sculpture.
The New Figuration is the second in a series of programmatic explorations of key developments in contemporary design curated by Adamson at Friedman Benda. Following the exhibition "A New Realism" (2021), which considered materially-intensive pragmatism as a working strategy, The New Figuration showcases positions whose formal and conceptual concerns are resolved through figural means. Apart from a few forebears, such as Nicola L and Gaetano Pesce, anthropomorphism has been a rare presence in design history, until now.
The exhibition brings together the work of Saelia Aparicio, Carmen D'Apollonio, FEI Yining, Anna Aagaard Jensen, Toomas Toomepuu, Chris Schanck and Barbora Zilinskaite. While each artist in the show has particular reasons for adopting the figurative mode, the works collectively suggest a turn away from the modernist ideal and its characteristically abstract nature, and an embrace of individual subject positions. As Adamson states, "above all, figuration necessarily raises a completely different set of criteria: who an object is meant to represent, as well as what."

He has previously been Director of the Museum of Arts and Design; Head of Research at the V&A; and Curator at the Chipstone Foundation in Milwaukee.

New Boeing 737 MAX Delays Will Hit Stock Longer Than Expected
Boeing Uncredited
Additional delays in returning its troubled 737 MAX jet to service means the airplane's worldwide grounding will affect Boeing 's financial results until 2021.
Wall Street is reacting to Boeing's news, adjusting sales and earnings numbers as well as pushing back estimates for new deliveries of the single-aisle jet. Downward pressure on earnings estimates will likely keep a lid on Boeing shares, but most aerospace suppliers and airlines should remain unaffected.
The back story. Last week, Boeing (ticker: BA)  said the Federal Aviation Administration identified new items the company needs to address before reintroducing the 737 MAX into commercial service. That prompted Southwest Airlines (LUV) to exclude MAX from its schedule through Oct. 1, a month later than its prior update.
What's new. "We had previously assumed a six month grounding in our Boeing estimates, taking the MAX out of action through to the end of [the third quarter]," writes Vertical Research Partners analyst Rob Stallard in a Tuesday research report. "We are now updating our numbers to factor in another quarter of grounding to the end of [the fourth quarter], with a subsequent ripple effect through 2020, 2021 and 2022."
Stallard believes Boeing will have built a MAX inventory of about 325 planes by the time deliveries resume. Based on that inventory and the current production rate of 42 MAX jets a month, the impact of the grounding will extend into 2021.
Jefferies analyst Sheila Kahyaoglu removed a "top pick" moniker from Boeing stock Tuesday. She still rates Boeing shares Buy with a $448 price target, 27% higher than recent levels. (Brokerages often keep a list of top picks for clients, whittling down their Buy ratings into smaller, focused lists of stocks analysts are most bullish on.)
Kahyaoglu also downgraded Spirit AeroSystems Holdings (SPR) stock to Hold from Buy and lowered her price target to $85 from $106 a share, down about 20%. Spirit generates about 80% of its sales from Boeing, and Kahyaoglu estimates 50% of Spirit sales are derived from the MAX. Spirit wasn't immediately available for comment.
Spirit, because of its close ties to Boeing, has been the hardest hit of the aerospace suppliers Barron's tracks. Shares are down about 16% since the March 10 Ethiopian Airlines crash, which led to the worldwide grounding of the MAX jet.
Other, more-diversified aerospace stocks have fared better, rising 7% over the same span. Boeing stock, like Spirit, is down about 16% since the second fatal MAX crash, much worse than the 5% gain of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. U.S. airlines are up 8% over the same span.
Looking ahead. The 737 MAX problems are taking longer to resolve than Wall Street initially expected. The downward pressure on Street ratings and earnings estimates will likely keep Boeing stock rangebound for the next few months.
The next step for Boeing could be to further reduce the production rate of the MAX jet. The company wasn't available to comment, as it is in its quiet period before it reports earnings later in July.
Additional delays in returning its troubled 737 MAX jet to service means the airplane's worldwide grounding will affect Boeing's financial results until 2021.

If you're looking to create an attractive website for your blog, portfolio or online store, it's impossible to beat Squarespace. With its long-standing status as the web-building tool for designers, and artistic and creative types, the modern templates have been behind some of the most stunning sites ( see examples of real Squarespace users here).
How easy can you create websites using Squarespace? In the following Squarespace instructional video, how to create a fantastic Squarespace website is simple, quick and enjoyable for as long as you've got some tricks to your repertoire.
Are you ready to begin? Let's get started!
Who do you think the Squarespace tutorial is for?
The Squarespace tutorial is perfect for:
You're brand new to Squarespace (or web builders generally) and require a step-by-step guide on how to use it.
You'd rather have an easy-to-maintain website that is easy to set up, and you're willing to give some design control to achieve the best results (otherwise, Webflow could be a better choice to explore)
You can SELLECT from a wide range of high-resolution images to use (either yourself or images from stock – you could take images from Getty Images directly through Squarespace)
Your site will probably be on the small side(for instance, for a business or personal website that doesn't contain an abundance of information)
You'd like to include your portfolio or blog on your website (we'll show you how to do it)
This guide will teach you how to sign up for the Squarespace account and build an easy-to-build website.
It' s also an excellent base from which to start if you're looking to add more advanced features (e.g., an online store, member area or an online shop). To learn how to integrate these features on your website, I suggest visiting the Squarespace Knowledgebase.
Step-by-Step Squarespace Tutorial
The video below thoroughly explains the steps to create the Squarespace website. It is also possible to follow our step-by-step instructions below:
Test Squarespace at no cost here.
Step 1 – Select your template.
In this tutorial, we'll create a portfolio website for a (fictional) graphic artist called Elli to market and showcase her talents.
First, look through the various available templates, which you can download here. There are more than 100 templates available, and you can also browse by categories (Portfolio blog, Photography, etc.). Click on a template, and you'll be presented with two options: 1.) Create your site by using the template, or 2.) Check out the template.
Since it's impossible to switch templates when using the most recent version of Squarespace, I'd suggest selecting another option before reviewing the template thoroughly before choosing the one you like best.
I'd suggest choosing an aesthetic template in accordance with the website you're looking to build for your site – e.g., similar colors, fonts, and images. Layouts are simple to alter using Squarespace However, changing style may require a little more effort.
After settling on the template, you want to use, click the 'Start With' option. To create Elli's site, we'll choose the template 'Novo' under "Portfolios" since it shares the same design and structure as the one we're looking to highlight.
Step -2 – Sign up for a Squarespace account (for no cost! )
On the next page, you will ask to sign up to Squarespace by using your Google, Apple or email account.
There's no need for a credit card; You can test Squarespace out for no cost for up to fourteen days (giving you ample time to consider whether it's the right choice for your needs).
While you can design your site free of charge during the 14-day trial, you'll need to upgrade the plans offered by Squarespace to launch your website. We'll discuss that in the final section of this guide.
After submitting your personal information, you'll be asked what you'd like to call your website. You can input the title here, or do not bother and return to it in the future.
There will also be short animation showing you how to modify your website, including editing, designing and creating pages. These are available for you to view or can watch or not.
Step 3. Get familiar with Squarespace
Then, you'll be directed to the next screen, from where you'll have the ability to make modifications to your website. Below is a short summary of the different sections of the screen:
1. The first part is called The Website Preview. It allows you to preview the style and content of every website's page, including images, text sections, and so on. The 'Edit' button at the top left of the screen will direct you to the Editor, meaning you'll have to make the majority of your website's modifications. Now you're looking at your homepage. You can go to different pages by clicking the hyperlinks within this view (just like you would when browsing the live version of your site).
2. While the top section is in charge of changes to the page, You can imagine the home menu to the left as a place to take care of the larger overall picture. It comprises the design of your website, pages, navigation menus, SEO, and analytics. It's also where you can manage other features (online store blog, member pages, member pages, etc.). You can also browse the pages of your website using the option 'Pages' within this menu.
3. The Assistant offers a helpful introduction video for Squarespace (which I would recommend taking a look at) and also explains the process of editing your website. Because we'll cover these steps in this video, You can close the window by pressing the "X" button on the right side of the screen (after watching the instructional video).
Click around and look through these various sections to gain an understanding of how everything is working.
The most essential things to bear in mind concerning Squarespace's Editor are:
Unfortunately, there's no autosave feature. You must manually save any changes you make after having made the changes. This is done by hovering over the word 'Done' at the top left and selecting the Save option.
Additionally, there's no button to undo (although there is a way to reverse changes in text using specific keystrokes, e.g., CTRL/CMD + Z). You can select 'Discard Changes' (also accessed by hovering over 'Done' on the upper left); however, this will reverse all modifications made since the most recent save (with no possibility of redoing). This is the reason why it's essential to keep your work regularly.
Step 4 Edit the header on your homepage
We can begin to modify our homepage by clicking the Edit button on the left-hand side of your Preview of Site (section 1, section).
We'll first focus on modifying the website's content (text images, text, etc.). The design will be changed future.
It's clear that the Squarespace platform has automatically added the name of your website that you entered earlier in the heading of your site. If you wish to alter this, simply hover your mouse over the header and click the Edit header button.
A new window will open. Select the 'Site Title & Logo' option. Here, you'll be able to modify the title of your website and logo or upload your logo. Squarespace provides the option of a no-cost logo creator, and you can create your logo.
When you're done, click Back in this same tab. You can also edit the other elements of your header, like those included within the primary navigation (your menu for your site, which is visible at the top of this page). For instance, if you select 'Elements,' you'll have the option of choosing the elements you wish to show in your main navigation (e.g., social hyperlinks, call-to-action buttons such as shopping carts, or accounts login) by adjusting either 'on' or 'off.'
In Elli's situation, we'll take out Instagram and Vimeo links. Vimeo as well as Instagram hyperlinks. To edit them, click the option to edit social links, then select one of the links you wish to delete. A brand new window will pop up Click 'delete'.
We'd like Elli to maintain the Dribble link, but we want to update it with the link to Elli's Dribble portfolio. Simply select the Dribble option and then change the URL within the popup. Save the changes when you are done.
Any changes to the header should be applied to the title displayed across the entire site, not only the homepage. Thus, you'll only get one variant of your header displayed on your website. Also, the footer will be automatically updated by adding the social media links you've modified in your title.
Step 5: Add a new section on your homepage
Although Elli enjoys the overall layout of her website, she's keen to make some changes to the design. Notably, she would like to include a brief introduction on the front of her page and display it over the photos gallery (which we'll edit in the near future).
To accomplish this, you'll need to hover over the area we'd like to include in this section. A new button called 'Add Section' will pop up – click it and click it.
This is the area where Squarespace's strengths are at play. You'll be able to pick from a myriad of pre-built templates, including headlines galleries, lists, and headlines, to more sophisticated features like email forms, Newsletter signups and appointment bookings that allow you to include the content of your choice.
We'd like to add some introduction text, So we'll select some of the designs available in the "Text" section.
Are you not happy with the section you've added? Do not worry about it. All you have is just hover your mouse over the section and then click on the TRASH icon at the top of the screen.
If you're content to keep it, click on the text and make changes as necessary to personalize it as personal to you. After you're done, click the Save option by hovering your mouse over the word 'Done at the top left corner of the editor.
Step 6 – Edit the existing 'Projects' section.
We are moving on to editing the next part of the page, the portfolio gallery photos (Squarespace refers to these as "Projects").
We'd like to replace them with photos of Elli's work, So let's look over the section, then select the 'Manage Projects' button that appears.
You can also alter the appearance of this section. For instance, you might want to show three rows of pictures instead of two. Look over your section, click on the icon for a pencil ('Edit Section'), and adjust it according to your needs.
On the Home Menu to the left side, you'll find a list of all the active projects listed on the page. We'll delete some of them since Elli has 4 projects she would like to show off. So, hover over one of the projects and click the"ellipsis" ('…') to show. Click 'Delete.'
To add (rather than remove) additional projects, click the "+' icon at the top of the pane.
To alter the images shown within this area, just hover over the appropriate project, click the '…' icon, and select "Settings."
In the new pop-up, you'll see a new popup, select "Remove image," and then replace it with your own. Be sure to alter the title and URL slug (the URL of the page) to make the image relevant to your website. Save the page in the upper left corner of the pop-up after you have finished.
Repeat this process for all one of your other tasks. When you're finished, you can examine how the whole thing appears. If you're pleased with the results, proceed to what's next.
Squarespace's templates depend on high-quality, high-resolution images for a smooth experience. Without them, the design begins to unravel. It's worthwhile to put the extra effort (or money for stock images) to ensure that you have plenty of these images to use.
Step 7: Edit "Projects' pages
Every image within your 'Projects' section has its page and a separate page. It is possible to include details regarding your work or add additional images. To modify this page, click on the project's name in the Home Menu on the left, then click 'Edit.'
To begin, you must modify the header background image using a hover-over section, then click the pencil icon ('Edit Section'). In the popup window, choose the Background option, then click "Replace."
You can edit the remainder on the site by clicking edit or creating sections as we've previously done.
To erase a portion, you need to hover over it and then click the trash icon at the top of the screen.
After you've finished, When you are done, click 'Done' and then 'Save' at the upper left corner, and continue with the other Projects' pages.
Step 8 Edit the 'Contact Page
We're pleased with our website's homepage and "Projects" section, so we'll move to make another edit. The template we've chosen has a Contact page, which we'd like to keep to ensure potential clients can connect with Elli. To modify that page, you need to click on the 'Pages' button at the top left of the Home Menu.
Click on the Contact page (highlighted below). The Contact page will appear within the Site Preview on the right, and you can click Edit to modify the page.
In the beginning, we'll substitute the image of Elli with a picture of Elli. To give it a design appeal, we'll also need to alter the image format to allow a text box to overlap the image. To do this, simply select the image and then click on select the pencil to edit the image. After you have replaced the image, choose the tab 'Design and select the option 'Collage.
Enter the text field to modify the text. You can also differ the font size by choosing the text in the highlighted area and the type of text you want to change (e.g., Heading 1, 2 etc.).
When you're done, you'll have something similar to this:
Then, we'll modify the text already there, identical to what we've done in earlier steps using the click and edit buttons. It is also possible to alter text formatting (e.g., bold or italic style) through the toolbar displayed over the text.
We're also looking to replace the "Let's work together" button with a new email form. You can delete it by clicking on it and then pressing trash.
In the next step, we'll add a separate brand area (as we did in the previous step). Move your cursor over where you'd like to put your form (in our instance, it's at the lower part of the screen). Select 'Add section. Select the "Form" option. You'll be presented with various layouts you can choose from. We'll scroll to the bottom and select one that will display an image beside the form.
Once the form is in place, edit the image (you'll be able to do this already! ). Edit the text that appears above the state, if needed.
To alter the fields on the form, select the state, then choose an edit icon using the pencil. Edit or remove areas already in use, or add new fields.
In the next step, you'll need to determine where the data from the forms submitted will go. Select the Storage tab, and you'll be able to select to receive them as email updates or to allow the information to be sent directly to the Google Drive spreadsheet, Mailchimp or any other marketing tool for email (using Zapier). In our instance, we'll be deciding on to receive emails.
After you've completed the process after that, click the "Apply" button. Make sure that everything on your website is looking good. If you're pleased with it, let's proceed to the next step, adding blogs.
Step 9: adding blogs
You've already seen how to edit pages within the Squarespace templates. But what occurs if you want to add a brand new page? Perhaps a set of pages (for instance, a blog)?
It's much easier than you believe. Within your Home Menu on your left side, ensure that you're in the Main Navigation menu (if you're not yet there and want to access it, do so by clicking on Pages). Use the "+' link which appears next to "Main Navigation' (or, if you don't wish for this new page to be accessible via the main navigation of your website, then click on the "+" button that is next to 'Not linked').
Though you'll likely want all pages to be linked via the main navigation, scenarios, where you might need to select the option to not link, include protected pages with passwords, areas for members only and landing pages that are ad-driven in general, anything you don't want a regular visitor to visit.
There are many options to add pages, including the possibility of adding an empty page or beginning by creating a layout/template. The one we'll select is the Blog option.
Then, choose the layout of your blog you wish to apply (we'll select "Blog 2′):
After it's added, you can alter the menu title of your blog's left pane. The title will be the one that will appear in your website's menu or the main navigation. To keep it short and straightforward, We'll simply the blog's name as 'Blog.'
After that, select the menu item 'Blog' you just edited, and you'll be directed to a list of blog posts demo that comes included in the design.
The blog posts can be edited the same way you did before editing your "Projects." Click the '…' link on the right of each blog's title to erase or replace the article.
Similar to that, click '…' and select "Settings" to:
Modify the state of the article (e.g., Draft', Needs Review", 'Publish' or even 'Schedule' the post)
Include tags and categories
Commenting can be disabled or enabled.
Change the main image on your blog (under the menu 'Options' item)
Modify SEO options (title description, URL and title)
Include hyperlinks to social media sites or send out email campaigns.
To modify the content of blog posts, click on the blog's name on the left side, and then click edit within the Editor section.
Like the 'Project' pages, you'll be able to edit headings already in place, texts, images, and even add or remove sections.
After that, you'll have your blog's main page, which may look that way – cool, isn't it?
Step10 – Personalize your website styles
We've managed the content on the website. Now, let's ensure that the style and design are exactly how we'd like it.
Templates on Squarespace are unified throughout the website. Each page has the same style of site and colors, fonts, color scheme and more. This is a great way to ensure that Squarespace sites keep the high-design style they're known for.
You can make minor adjustments to the templates using the following steps. You should not go too far from the initial template. However, you could inject some of your company's style into the design.
There is the option to include customized codes (HTML, CSS and Javascript) to make more significant modifications. I don't recommend this since an) the templates of Squarespace are excellent for what they are as is, and) Squarespace won't provide support regarding these changes. However, you have the option.
To begin, select the Home option within the lower left-hand pane. You will be able to navigate to the Home Menu. Select the 'Design' option. There are various options to personalize your website – fonts, animations, color buttons, and many more.
Customizing fonts
Start by clicking "Fonts." Squarespace uses font packs and combinations of fonts that have been compatible with the template you have chosen. It is possible to switch collections of fonts, change the fonts in packs, and alter the Height or weight and spacing. Select the font that is best for your website by clicking the switch option.
We'll select the font pack ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro'. You can click it to preview how it will appear in the editor to the left (all headings and texts will automatically be updated with the latest Font Pack).
To adjust the fonts in your pack (e.g., font sizes, heights, spacing, etc.), click "Back" and then select one of the "Global Text Styles" options, as shown below. Below, you'll see the "Assign Styles option that lets you define the location where each text style will be applied to your website.
Colors that can be customized
Perhaps your company's logo includes colors you'd like to reflect on your website's design. Maybe you prefer bright and bold colors to the template's simple color scheme. If that's the scenario, you can change the design of your site by going back to the menu 'Design' in the left pane and then selecting the option for 'Colors.
Then, select "Edit," which appears over your color scheme. You can choose any or more of Squarespace's available color palettes. To pick custom colors or to choose the colors of an image uploaded, select the arrow or chevron symbol (highlighted beneath).
To apply this colour scheme to your website to apply these colors, simply click the chevron in the section next to the section titled 'Section Themes'
There is a list of themes created by the automaker that you can apply to your website (these can change the background text, link, button colors, etc.). You can keep them as is or modify them by clicking the pencil icon whenever you hover your mouse over the theme.
Within the Site Preview window on the right side, you'll be able to notice the color themes that have been that are applied to every section of the page that you're looking at. As you can see, we're using the theme 'White Minimal' across the homepage.
The color themes can be modified on a segment-by-section basis. The header will be inherited by the color theme used in the first section of the page. However, it is possible to change the theme by choosing "Edit header" > Colors > and then turning on the switch to 'Transparent. The color themes applied to the footer are used across the entire website.
To change the settings, click Edit within the Preview of your Site. Next, hover over the area you wish to edit, and click an icon for pencil. Afterward, in the pop-up window, select the tab for 'Colors' and select your desired theme (we're choosing "Accent Dark" for the topmost section).
Visit other pages on your website and then go back in case there are additional modifications:
When you're done when you're finished, click 'Done' at the top lefthand corner, then click 'Save the changes.
Of course, there are many other design elements that you could alter, including buttons or spacing and more. But I'm sure you're pretty familiar with the interface in the past, and if you're interested in making some more changes, please feel free to test it yourself.
Step 11 – Update the page title as well as the navigation menu. SEO settings
We're so close to the end of the road! Let's take care of the housekeeping tasks first.
The first step is to seriously ensure that every page:
The program displays pages in the sequence we want to show in the navigation menu.
Utilizes titles that represent the page.
Have the correct SEO setting.
A. Within the Home Menu, select Pages. Under the Main Navigation menus, move the webpages in the order you want by dragging them out of order. Changes will show up on the Site Preview on the right.
B. If you have any titles, you would like to alter, This is also where you can do it. For instance, we would like to switch the identification of 'Work' to "Portfolio." On the Home Menu to the left side, hover over the "Work" page, and click the settings or gear icon. It will appear.
Edit the 'Page Title' and the 'Navigation Title' (plus the URL slug should you wish), Then click Save in the upper left.
C. This is an ideal time to change your settings for SEO to each of your pages, for instance, if you want to rank for particular phrases on Google. Also, press the settings/gear icon on the page you wish to change, and then go to the menu called 'SEO. Edit 'SEO Title' and 'SEO Description,' then hit 'Save.' I suggest doing this on each page and your portfolio and blog posts.
For more information on optimizing your website for SEO, look at the Guide to SEO for Squarespace.
Let's check that you have your website set up correctly. On your Home menu, go to Settings and select 'Language and Regions.'
Also, make sure that you've chosen the correct timezone, region, and measurement standards (this is important when you're selling goods). After that, click 'Save.
In the 'Settings' menu, click on the option "Business Information " and enter the relevant information. Based on the template you choose, certain of these details might be automatically inserted into your website. Once again, click 'Save' when you are done.
Step 12: Final Check the domain, set it up, and launch!
To this point, your website was only accessible to your friends and family. After we've updated our website's design, content and optimization settings, we're all set to share it with the world; therefore, let's get it up and make it public!
If you've been using Squarespace's free trial until this point, you'll have to change to an upgraded subscription to create your site, therefore, make sure you're satisfied with your Squarespace site before committing to this.
Make sure you're satisfied with how everything appears by examining every page of your Site Preview.
This is the website we created for Elli. We're pretty content with the results!
Also, look at how you can access your mobile website by clicking on the Mobile icon (all Squarespace websites will be mobile-optimized by default).
In the next step, you'll have to change to one of the paid plans from Squarespace. You can hit the button 'Subscribe' at the lower right of the page (this is the easiest way! ). You can return to the main menu, select the option 'Billing and account, Then "Billing," and then Upgrade your plan.
Then, you'll be able to choose between Squarespace's four plans and between a month-long or annual subscription. If you're struggling to choose the right plan for your needs, look at our pricing guide for Squarespace.
Once you've submitted the payment information, after which you clicked 'Confirm Purchase and Pay,' you're now able to start publishing your website! First, go back to the Home Menu and select Settings, and ensure that your Site Availability is set to 'Public' (rather than 'Private').
The last step is to connect your website to a domain name you have created. It's all done within your Home Menu on the left by clicking on 'Settings' and then Domains.
There are three options available:
Register a domain. Choose this option if you want to Choose this option if your company doesn't have a domain that you've created and wish to purchase one from Squarespace. Squarespace offers domains at no cost for the first year when you buy an annual Squarespace subscription.
Choose a domain I own – pick this option if you own an existing domain registered with another service (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy). You could either) move it over to Squarespace or) link it up to the Squarespace website (in case you decide to retain it with your current service)
The built-in domain is an auto-generated domain assigned to you from Squarespace (thatyou can change). It shall look something like this: yoursiteid.squarespace.com. This isn't a replacement for your domain. Instead, consider it an internal domain only you have access to.
opt for the option that is most applicable to you and follow the steps.
That's it! You now have a public Squarespace website ready to display your work to the world!

True-blue conservation in Maine

Home/Blogs/True-blue conservation in Maine
July 12, 2019 | 1 comment
Around this time of year, a strange condition starts to spread among the inhabitants of central Maine. During long summer days outside, their mouths turn blue. Along with slower-than-average hiking speed and a repetitive stooping motion, the tinted teeth can only mean one thing: wild blueberries are ripe and ready for harvest.
True blue. Photo credit: Flickr user OakleyOriginals
If you've ever spent an afternoon ambling in blueberry territory, you know the wild kind bears only a passing resemblance to its domesticated cousins. Maine's wild blueberries are tinier, plumper, and packed with a flavor so bold and sweet it's almost electrifying. And according to locals, there are few places wild blueberries grow better than on the sunny slopes of Moxie Bald Mountain, a 2,630-foot peak in Somerset County.
But it's not just foragers who benefit from the area's bounty. The cold, clear waters of nearby Bald Mountain Pond welcome paddlers and anglers from around the state. The pond is home to a rare population of freshwater arctic char—one of just a dozen such populations anywhere in the world. And hikers on the Appalachian Trail skirt the shore, taking in views of the summit reflected on the pond's placid surface, and bedding down for a night in the sturdy hikers' shelter just a few steps from the pond's banks.
The only thing sweeter than the blueberry harvesting along the trail is the view from the summit of Moxie Bald Mountain.Photo credit: Jerry and Marcy Monkman
"Bald Mountain Pond is off the beaten path in the classic sense," says Craig Dickstein, a volunteer with the Maine Appalachian Trail Club, which helps care for over 250 miles of the trail through the state. Many ponds and lakes in the region are ringed with summer camps and private homes, but the shores of Bald Mountain Pond remain relatively untouched. "I've talked to a lot of thru-hikers over the years, and I often hear that crossing through this area is a highlight of their entire journey."
The timber companies that once owned the 1,200-acre pond and much of the surrounding forest historically allowed recreational access to the area—but that arrangement was more of a tradition than a guarantee. And with the region's timber economy in flux and land ownership shifting from small local companies to big corporations, Mainers have started to hit more locked gates and "No Trespassing" signs where they're accustomed to free reign for hiking, hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling.
Bald Mountain Pond is home to one of just a dozen populations of freshwater arctic char, making it a prime spot for ambitious anglers. Photo credit: Jerry and Marcy Monkman
So The Trust for Public Land is working with local conservationists, the State of Maine, and the National Park Service to purchase 2,620 acres surrounding Bald Mountain Pond. Once the project is complete, the pond, its nine miles of rugged shoreline, a stretch of the Appalachian Trail, and countless wild blueberry bushes will remain protected from development and open to the public, forever. Sweet!

How Important Is The Electrical Ground System?
How Important Is the Electrical Ground System on a Home, and What Does It Do?
Many homeowners find themselves wondering how important is the electrical ground system on a home, and what does it do? We have all heard of ground wires, and most of us have a vague idea that it may have something to do with the third arm sticking out of three-prong plugs. Maybe you remember that your grandparents had a lightning rod attached to their home to dissipate the power of a lightning strike. But what does all of this have to do with your home?
What Do Electrical Ground Systems Do?
In modern homes built since the 1960s, fuse panels, metal outlets, switches, and screw-in light bulbs should all have a ground wire attached to them. Those ground wires run to the power box, and from there a grounding wire is attached to grounding rods below the Earth's surface, metal plumbing pipes, or lots of other metal items that can conduct and dissipate the electricity. The grounding wire, which is typically copper but sometimes aluminum, transfers surges of power to dissipate underground.
Why Are Electrical Ground Systems Important?
When a power surge occurs, the extra electricity can create a safety hazard in your home. But a grounding system mitigates that risk by taking the extra electricity and directing outside of the house. Instead of blowing up an appliance, starting a house fire, or electrocuting a person, the power flows through the grounding wire and away from the house.
When Should I Be Worried about My Electrical Ground System?
There are some conditions that should cause a homeowner to seek a professional electrician's help to improve a house's ground system. If the home was built before the 1960s, there is a pretty good chance that not all of the lights, switches, and plugs in the home are grounded. If you are on city water and your municipality has switched over to plastic water pipes, you may need to have a secondary grounding system installed to make sure power surges are still directed away from your house.
If you can see any damage to your power box or the wires connected to it, it's a good idea to have a licensed electrician check it out for you. Plus, if your home has experienced any symptoms of a power surge or other electrical malfunction – electrocutions, smoking outlets, or unexplained power losses, for example – you need to call in an expert to make sure your house is safe for you and your family.
Arc Angel Electric knows that your top priority is your family's safety and comfort. We can help you ensure that your Atlanta area home's electrical ground system is set up correctly and does not pose electrical fire hazards. Want to know more about how important is the electrical ground system on a home, and what does it do? Call Arc Angel at (770) 889-9243 with all of your electrical ground system questions.

My Full CV
My scholarly work investigates social inequalities through a variety of lenses, most often by studying communities, charitable giving, emerging adulthood, religion, and spatial context. As a theoretically-informed empirical researcher, I am drawn to the intersections of topics, disciplines, and subfields. In my efforts to think, study, and learn broadly, I often investigate topics at the nexus between sociology and other disciplines, such as philanthropy.

Home London Travel Guide The Development of Paddington Waterside Projects
The Development of Paddington Waterside Projects
Since 1998, the development work on the creation of Paddington Waterside has started and it is likely that the 13 projects connected with this development will be completed in 2018. The entire project covers an area of approximately 10,000,000 square feet of space which is roughly the size of Soho. The mixed-use development has the objective of creating London's new premier residential, commercial, leisure, retail and health quarter. The coordination work for the regeneration of the Paddington Special Policy Area around Paddington Station in London is being done by the Paddington Waterside Partnership. The 13 individual projects will be carried out in the triangle of land between Praed Street, Westbourne Terrace and the A40 Westway, with special emphasis on Paddington Central and Paddington Basin. The magnitude of the project is being described as the "the largest central London redevelopment scheme since the Second World War". If you are staying at a hotel close to Paddington, you can simply walk across to the scene of action and see the progress and magnitude of the project that is likely to be completed in another 4 years. The 13 individual projects are the following.
Paddington Central: The site for this project which is west of Bishop's Bridge road was the location of Bishop's Bridge Station but it was subsequently used as the railway's goods shed until the 1980s after Paddington was built. This site is now being given a mixed-use development consisting of offices, flats, and retail units. The first phase of this project is Sheldon Square which has 630,000 sq. ft of built space around a glass amphitheatre. It has two office blocks, 219 flats and 95,000 sq. ft. of retail space. The second phase is the development of land along Kingdom Street consisting of an office building space of 260,000 sq. ft. of land which has been completed; another 235,000 sq. ft. of office space with 25,000 sq. ft. of residence accommodation and The Novotel London Paddington Hotel. The final two phases of this development will provide 140,000 sq. Ft. and 210,000 sq. ft. of office space respectively.
Stone Wharf: This project involves the development of the area around the canal north of the Westway up to Little Venice with floating galleries, cafes and restaurants, with encouragement from British Waterways.
55-65 North Wharf Road and Telstar: The two sites off Bishop's Bridge Road on either side of the railway station are being developed with the construction of two buildings at 55-65 North Wharf Road, a 240,000 sq ft office block and a block of 100 flats east of the station. An eight-storey office block of 105,000 sq. ft. has already been built at 2, Eastbourne Terrace.
10-50 Eastbourne Terrace: Numbers 10, 20 and 30 Eastbourne Terrace have been refurbished and numbers 40 and 50, consisting of 146,000 sq. ft. of retail and office space, have been sold.
Triangle Site: To the west of Paddington Station the Crossrail Station has been built and the taxi rank was moved north of the station. A new entrance for the mainline station and a new ticket hall for the Hammersmith and City line were constructed next to the canal.
Paddington Station: Perhaps the most strategic and convenient station in central London, Paddington Station serves as a great connecting point to all places of London particularly Heathrow Airport, due to which guests at a hotel close to Paddington and residents of the area can easily reach Heathrow Airport in just 20 minutes. A £65m facelift of the mainline station that added 50,000 sq ft of retail and catering space has already been completed. The roof of Span 4 has been replaced in a £34m refurbishment. The station is now an important hub for the Crossrail service providing links to the mainline railway and the London Underground. The Crossrail station will be completed by 2015 and services will start in 2017.
Paddington Basin and Merchant Square: the development around Paddington Basin will create 2,000,000 sq ft (190,000 m2) of offices, homes, shops and leisure facilities and most of the land north of the canal basin is being developed under the banner of Merchant Square. Paddington Walk is a block of 232 flats that was completed in August 2005 and the Point and Waterside are office blocks. The original plan for the eastern end envisaged a commercial development focused around the Grand Union Basin and included the Winding building and the Grand Union building.
The plan for Merchant Square proposes 1,800,000 sq. ft of mixed-use space spanning 6 buildings, including 554 residential units and 58% commercial space. A large square by the canal is planned for Merchant Square, along with business and retail barges moored alongside.
North Wharf Gardens: The 1.5 hectare site sandwiched between the Westway and the canal basin was sold by the Westminster City Council to Amwaj Property Limited, of Bahrain, which is engaged in a residential-oriented mixed-use development, the first phase of which was scheduled for completion in 2015 at an estimated cost of £71 million.
Paddington Health Campus and St Mary's Hospital
It was planned to replace three run-down hospitals – St Marys, the Royal Brompton and Harefield at an estimated cost of £41m but this scheme was abandoned due to escalation of cost. The only recent development work has been a £15m upgrade of the QEQM Wing.
Hilton London Paddington: The Great Western Royal Hotel on Praed Street was built as the station hotel in 1854 and it was given a £60m refurbishment in 2002 and rebranded as the Hilton London Paddington.
Sorting Office: A commercial development is envisaged for the site where The Royal mail sorting office in Praed Street was located and which was closed down. A new ticket hall for the Bakerloo line and better access to the mainline station is also being planned.
West End Quay: West End Quay comprises 468 flats and 29,000 sq ft (2,700 m2) of retail space.
Hilton London Metropole: It is the biggest convention hotel in Britain. It was originally built in 1968 and a convention centre was added in 1998-2000.
The above projects, when completed, will completely transform the face of Paddington.

My research interests are in nineteenth-century British literature, social history, and print culture. My work on the culture of invalidism has led to an interest in "transient illnesses" of Victorian Britain and to histories, narratives, and representations of institutional care (e.g., workhouses, asylums) in the period. I have an abiding interest in Victorian women social reformers, especially Harriet Martineau and Florence Nightingale. I am currently reading widely in the history of emotions. My current book-project originated in a series of classroom assignments on Jane Austen's distinctive vocabulary; it is tentatively titled Keywords of Jane Austen's Fiction.

Media owners, journalists must stay connected: I.A. Rehman
Posted on November 5, 2017 by Web Desk
LAHORE: Renowned rights activist and writer I.A. Rehman looked back at his life at the Lahore Press Club on Saturday evening, reminding the journalists and media owners of the need to connect to each other and to society to protect the freedom for which his generation had struggled a lot.
Journalists could fight for the independence because of their strong link to the vibrant freedom-loving society in the 60s and 70s, and especially during the Zia regime. Now, this link was missing and society was silent, he told a gathering at 'Meri Batein, Meri Yadein' — an event the Press Club organises to acknowledge the contributions of iconic figures.
Mr Rehman, who has been a writer, editor, trade unionist, rights and peace activist, recalled the times when "the newspaper owners would dictate policy of their publications in the early days of Pakistan too. But the problem started when they realised that they could make more money through their newspapers."
Initially journalism was considered a mission that later turned into a business. Even politicians in the past would contest elections by selling their assets, never making a fast buck after returning to the assemblies.
He said the media owners at present are in clutches much stronger than those in the past. They should strengthen their link with working journalists instead of the government to resist the pressures. They should respect journalists and connect to society otherwise conditions are going to worsen, he warned.
Narrating how he began reading newspapers in his ancestral village in Indian Punjab at the age of nine, he said he would read headlines of the Hindustan Times which just like his schoolteachers would praise the Allied Forces for crushing Germany on various fronts of the World War II. But the man in the street would support Hitler, listening to his speeches on two radios in the village without understanding the German language. Poet Josh Malihabadi too would support Hitler in his verse, he said.
Mr Rehman said his actual life started when he began writing; it was useless earlier. "I wrote my first column in Urdu in 1948, demanding a holiday on the death anniversary of Allama Iqbal. It was followed by more writings in another Urdu journal. The earning was free supply of the journal for six months."
The first income was Rs150 which he got after writing an article in The Pakistan Times in 1950. The newspaper would give him Rs10 for writing a film review. Urdu newspapers were poor but had dignity. They were united and there was no division on any account.
He said the Press faced hardships during the early period of Pakistan. The government would close down a newspaper, confiscate its press or arrest the editor. In 1948, Faiz Ahmad Faiz was arrested after a news in Imroze was considered disgrace for a DSP. The legendary poet refused to apply for bail but was released in the evening nevertheless.
With a twinkle in his eyes, the journalist recalled how he, his friends Nisar Osmani, Minhaj Barna and others fought against the takeover of the PPL newspapers by the Ayub regime and its black law, PPO 1963, and observed a strike in 1970 to force the government to include newspaper workers in the Wage Board Award.
"I and others in the PPL were fired as a consequence," he said. He said the fired journalists took out an Urdu newspaper which was more popular than economically viable. "I was one of the three editors and we all earned a lot of bad name. We tried our best to initiate a dialogue with our journalist brethren in East Pakistan to remove misunderstandings but were labeled as touts of Mujib," he said.
He recalled the trade union at that time had not surrendered because society had room for the survival of honest people. Now there was no space for such people, he said, demanding (in a lighter vein) reward for "reading newspapers in the last 78 years."
Mr Rehman made a special mention of the late Mr Nisar Osmani whom he remembers as the symbol of the dignity of journalism for laying the foundations of independent reporting in Pakistan while resisting pressures from the governments particularly of Zia. "The journalist community owes a lot to Mr Osmani and Mr Minhaj Barna," he said.
Lahore Press Club President Shahbaz Mian presented a bouquet and a shield to Mr Rehman.

Hello and welcome to this year's Midsummer Festival. We are excited that you will be a part of the fun and entertainment. For your information and to make things easier for you, here is the essential stuff you need to know.
Food vendors will require hot & cold running water, and refrigeration (coolers and ice packs are not considered adequate). All vendors without a current permit must obtain one from the health inspector (250-847-7360) at least 3 weeks prior to the festival.
We can provide you with access to cold running water, and electricity (please note there is a limited amount of power available. If you require 220 power you must inform food vendor coordinator as we may not be able to provide all vendors 220 power). Please bring your own extension cords and power bars. We will remove any garbage and compost when necessary. There is no sewage system and unfortunately we cannot provide hot water. Our facilities are limited, especially with electricity. An ideal set up would be to provide your own self contained kitchen unit, such as a van or a trailer. The more self contained you are, the better. In addition, you may wish to have some plastic or tarps on hand in case it rains.
From commercial vendors, the Festival fee will be 8% of Gross Sales. For charity/non profit organizations, the fee will be 10% of Net Profits (after costs have been deducted). Upon acceptance you will be required to submit an $80.00 security deposit. This cheque will be made out to BVFMS and will be returned after the festival as long as the site is left clean and undamaged. Please DO NOT send the cheque until you are notified of your acceptance. Each vendor will receive a maximum of 2 weekend passes. 3 Access passes will be provided for additional staffing requirements. If you have a larger staffing requirement you will have to purchase day or weekend passes for these individuals. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the food-vendor coordinator. Please note: All staff camping on site will be required to pay $10.00.
from this program will be donated to the BVFMS to make further improvements to our Zero Waste program in future years.
Glass Bottles: As always we are attempting to keep the festival grounds clear of any health hazards from broken glass. A decision has been made to keep glass containers out of the festival grounds. We realize that this may be an inconvenience for some vendors and hope that you can comply with this request. If there is a serious problem with this issue please call me (Melanie @ 847-8740) and we can discuss it.
Recycling Centers: As mentioned above, series of Recycling Centres (approximately 7) will be placed around the fair ground with a series of drums to collect compostables, tin cans, aluminum cans, drink boxes, mixed garbage and paper products (cardboard).
Set up will be on Thursday and Friday. We plan to stagger the arrival times of the vendors to avoid unnecessary confusion. This schedule will be determined by mid June.
To inquire and ensure a Food Vendor Spot is available, email our Food Vendor Coordinator Terry Delany at: bvfmsinfo@gmail.com with the words Food Vendor in the Subject line. We are limited with space and not all requests can be fulfilled.
